Fri 16th May: Shoe Trivia Part 1

This is a snap from one of my excursions whilst in NYC. I was investigating Balenciaga at Barneys and heard comotion coming from the adjoining shoe department.................and discovered a signing by Christian Louboutin with a line of giddy trust fund fans clutching thier prized heels................having to wait even longer due to the impromtu arrival of queue-jumper Naomi Campbell.............

Additional Tenuous Trivia: The Tim Walker exhibition poster (designed by Wren Studio) features a Vogue editorial image of Lisa Cant as a bunny girl in a red room wearing Christian Louboutin red soled shoes. I was assisting Shona Heath on this fairytale shoot from 2004 which also featured a portrait of the shoe designer himself and Nigella Lawson in a ShoeMakers Elves narrative..........complete with gigantic pile of his shoes which was quite a distraction to prop!

My book out on September 19th

Of course, there are the splendidly exuberant accessories, wearable sculptures whose sparkle has attracted fashion magpies such as Gaga, Bjork and Nicki Minaj. But there is also custom made prop styling, art directing and film making.
